The Broken Ornament
by Tony DiTerlizzi (Author / Illustrator)
Booktalk: Jack wants this to be the best Christmas ever, and he knows just how to make it happen . . .
More! More lights, more presents, more cookies, more treats. More. More. More! So, when Jack breaks a dusty old ornament, he’s not sure why his mom is so upset. They can always get more ornaments, so what’s the big deal? Turns out the ornament was an heirloom, precious for more reasons than one. And Jack has a lot to learn about the true meaning of Christmas.
A fairy named Tinsel emerges from the shattered ornament. She has the power to make the most magical Christmasy things happen. Suddenly trees are sprouting, reindeer are flying, and snowmen are snowball fighting. All of it is so perfect, or it would be if she could fix Mom’s ornament. But she can’t.
Snippet: “There is only one person who can make that kind of Christmas magic,” replied Tinsel.
“Santa?” asked Jack.
“No, you.” Tinsel tweaked his nose. “You silly reindeer.”
